The deleted scenes are out there… Timecode confirmed. Effects seem to be finished, but not always good.
The scenes are mostly useless, as predicted. Could be used mostly as filler to help with pacing, I guess …
All of it 4:16 including titles.
Kylo Searches the Falcon: First part: Snowtroopers and Kylo Ren inside. Kylo steps into cockpit: “Han Solo”.
Second part: Kylo Ren and the Snowtroopers are outside the Falcon, seeing the arrival of X-wings. I would only use the second in an edit…
Snow Speeder chase: Rey and Finn on a Snowspeeder chased by a Snowspeeded with Snowtroopers. They shoot at each other, Finn does not miss. The end.
Jakku message: The Resistance receives a message from Jakku about Poe and the village, no word of BB-8. “Never understimate a droid”. C-3PO stares into the camera for half a second …
Inserting it in the beginning would ruin Leia’s reveal later in the movie. Individual shots might be reused somewhere later though.
Finn and the Villager: Finn can’t shoot a woman with a small bundle (child?).
Finn will be fine: Camera circles a round Finn on the stretcher. Then “Your friend’s going to be just fine” - stiff delivery. That’s it.
X-wings Prepare for Lightspeed: “Black leader: The Falcon Has Landed”. “All fighters clear for takeoff”. Cut from X-wings lifting off from the base right into space. X-wing pilots in closeup. X-wings go to lightspeed.
